This is both Ontology and Ethics. For the question we then ask is why or how is any given thing good? Since it is also Ontology, we are not compelled to cheat reality by imposing a reason on her, but rather to seek the answer in the most honest questioning of her.

Why is pain good? Leibniz's ontoethics would not have you deciding. One simply knows pain is good because we live in the best of all possible worlds.

This is also Dualism. The knowledge that everything is good without the knowledge of why or how. It is very sexual, because the knowledge that it is good invites the questioning of how and why!

And since your very questioning exists, and is thus good, there's no pressure.

In short, it is an ethics and ontology because it gives both what things are and what to do about them as a consecuence of what they are.

1That the world is the best of all possible worlds does not imply that everything in it is good.Only that there is more good about it than any other possible world. But that doesn't mean that in other possible worlds, some things wouldn't be better at the cost of more other things being worse.

2Leibniz did not simply state this without reason. It is the logical conclusion of a comprehensive meritocratic argument he intuited but which is first explicated with VO.

I told you what was wrong with your argument. Leibniz did not err like that, so this isn't about him, or refuting his arguments. I have no issue with Leibniz, he intuited the self-valuing logic by the elements that eluded Nietzsche but still had to connect this to the part of his brain that produces faith, where I connected it to certainty.

I pointed out two erroneous assumptions that someone of your intelligence can easily recognize. You are not addressing these errors, but throwing straw men and disjointed references at me. My very modest accomplishment here seems to elude you like the larger part of the Empire State Building was once hidden from me by a snowstorm.

It speaks of the richness of the world that one being endowed with so much of it is capable of interpreting it as him being the center of the universe! What riches lie ahead for us who don't have this limitation! And even before that, what riches this person enjoys of God's world, the best of all possible ones! What joy for him such richness must be, pain and all!

For who is any and everything good, part of the best of all possible worlds? For who sees it as good. God sees everything as good. When a person sees everything as good, that is that person allowing the Grace of God to guide him.
